How to randomly skip notes in a sequence

[bobllama]

Hi all,

 

So I have a drum sequence I'm trying to keep fresh by randomly skipping notes/triggers. I'm wondering if there's a way to batch process or automate this? The kit is loaded up in the EXS24 and is too big to work with ultrabeat unfortunately (as I suspect ultrabeat probably has some solution for me).

 

Any suggestions?

Assuming that you are dealing with the MIDI events, I would try the Transform approach.

Try here to get the details:

http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=26%26section=0%26tasks=true

And here for an example (the fourth one, applied to velocity setting to 0, instead of the pitch for instance could do the trick):

Well, it seems promising but so far all I'm able to do is set velocities to random amounts from 0 to 127. I guess I should clarify what I'm hoping to do:

 

I'd like to randomly set certain events to 0 while maintaining all other events at their current velocity. Basically, have a random number of notes set to 0 while leaving the rest untouched.

If your read well the documentation, you will find out that the presets are example of what Transform can do and you could create your own customized ones to suit your needs, either directly in the various Editors of Logic or in the Environment...
